Brow gels are the perfect way to tame eyebrows but if you are going fora natural look, it will look out of place with the rest of your makeup. There’s an easy solution for that: clear mascara.

Make Your Bottom Lashes Look Perfect
Having voluminous upper lashes can be a great look. However, bottom lashes look better simple and neat. There’s a lot of products for your upper lashes. You can choose a lot of brands of mascara that can fit your style. However, the same can’t be said with products for your bottom lashes. There are very few products for bottom lashes. Some people use the heavier mascara used for their lower lashes but it looks a little out of place. Adding too much volume on your lower lashes can also make your eyes look smaller.

This is definitely a must-try for an experimental makeup look.

If you want that complicated updo and you suddenly ran out of hair spray, and you can’t run to the nearest store to buy a new one, you can try using clear mascara to keep your hair in place. Say goodbye to stray hands of hair ruining your otherwise perfect hairstyle. Just swipe your clear mascara on parts of your hair that are refusing to cooperate.
